Little surprises

This tree grows on a corner in our neighborhood. I walk past it almost everyday. It is unusual because it has 3 different colored blossoms on it. Light pink, dark pink and white. The palm tree in the foreground is just an added bonus. I'm guessing the tri colored tree was created through grafting.

This a good picture to show, because it is typical of a residential area in Tokyo...lots of ugly powerlines, ugly cement angular buildings, and little patches of pretty. At first the ugly is glaring. But now I don't notice it quite so much. I try to look for the little lovely spaces.
